For most of the world, summer is here, and hotter weather is turning our thoughts to lighter and cooler meals. But what about healthier meals? This is never a problem with HumanaNatura. Light, cool, and naturally healthy meals are easy to prepare the HumanaNatura way and using HumanaNatura’s OurPlate healthy eating guidelines.

Our example summertime salad meal begins with stir-fried pork (lamb, beef, or venison would work too), along with sliced onion, minced garlic, and shredded broccoli and carrot. Once cooked, this meat and veggie combo is allowed to cool and then refrigerated until chilled (or served warm if it is not summer and the weather isn’t hot). At mealtime, a simple salad base and mix is prepared with chopped romaine lettuce, julienned cucumber, and sliced tomatoes. A portion of the stir-fry is placed on top and the salad is then garnished with berries, orange pieces, slivered almonds, a mix of herbs, black pepper, and a citrus-vinaigrette dressing. Light, cool, tasty, healthy, and easy, as always, when meals are prepared the HumanaNatura way!

Greetings from HumanaNatura at the solstice! Around the world, we are now at one of two important milestones in the natural year. Today is the longest day of the year and start of summer in the northern hemisphere. And it is the shortest day and start of both winter and a new natural year in the south.

A Moment in the Everchanging Light and Rhythm of the Natural Year

In the HumanaNatura natural health system, and as explained in our Mastering The Natural Year graphic and post, we encourage spending this and every solstice with family, friends, and community. With the extreme light and intense feelings that can come with the solstices, it is a natural time to seek and provide friendship, celebrate progress in our lives and Natural Life Plans, and encourage new health and progressivity in others.

If you have not yet created a Natural Life Plan to guide your use and expression of the third HumanaNatura technique, Natural Living, our links will take you to our planning worksheets and seven-step planning process. Together, these resources will help you to begin more health-centered and naturally progressive life in the days and weeks ahead – and before the next solstice arrives.

Our newest community newsletter was released today as well, which is published eight times yearly in harmony with the natural year, providing updates on HumanaNatura’s resources, programs, and worldwide health campaigns to our members.

Chicken and other poultry foods are great protein sources, low in saturated fats and high in important minerals. One downside is that poultry can be less appealing if served often, leading to unhealthy sauces and sides. But it doesn’t have to be this way, when meals are made the HumanaNatura way and following HumanaNatura’s OurPlate healthy eating guidelines. The trick is to include plenty of raw veggies and contrasting tastes, so meals are healthy and do more than “taste like chicken.”

This appetizing salad meal is from NaturaLife contributor Erin Murray. It begins by grilling one or more naturally-raised chicken breasts. While the chicken is grilling, a salad base of spring greens and mix of cucumber, red pepper, mandarin oranges, cilantro, and slivered almonds is prepared, all dressed with a Thai vinaigrette. When done, the chicken is thin-sliced, arranged still-warm atop the salad base and mix, and served promptly. Fast, healthy, and tasty – as always, when meals are prepared the HumanaNatura way!
